2012 - Starring St John of God Hospital

The end of 2012 is approaching and with it brings the inevitable ponder and reflection on a year gone by. If I were to quickly summarise 2012 in one phrase for us Choo's, it'd be... 

St John of God Hospital Subiaco. 

The hospital has played a starring role in our lives this year. Whilst not as glamorous as New York City on a TV sitcom, it provided the background for a year full of perseverance, pain, uncertainty and eventual joy. 

There were countless painful hours spent at the hospital rehabbing my knee and seeing orthopaedic surgeons; dull hours spent waiting to see obstetricians and midwives; hours spent attentively listening in preparation for impending parenthood; hours witnessing the miracle of childbirth and sleepless nights at the neonatal unit watching a premature Kobe in his first days of life.  

I don't think I can speak highly enough of the staff at SJOG and of the care and the advice they provided. We can't thank them enough!

2 months old

You are such a joy to your Mummy and Daddy. You are growing quickly and now weigh 4.92Kg. You're soft and squishy and we love your cuddles and smiles although you're not too generous with them yet. You are a happy, sociable baby that loves going out.

You love:

  • movement - being in the car, the pram or being rocked in our arms
  • music - in particular The Killers
  • bath time
  • milk
  • venetian blinds
